Meeting Description:

COLING 2016
The 26th International Conference on Computational Linguistics

December 11-16, 2016
Osaka, Japan.

http://coling2016.anlp.jp/

The International Committee on Computational Linguistics (ICCL) is pleased to
announce the 26th International Conference on Computational Linguistics
(COLING 2016), in Osaka, Japan, at the Osaka International Convention Center
(OICC) (located in Nakanoshima in the center of Osaka).

About COLING:

The COLING conference has a history that dates back to the 1960s. The
conference is held every two years and regularly attracts more than 700
delegates. The 1st conference was held in New York, 1965. Since then, the
conference has developed into one of the premier Natural Language Processing
conferences worldwide. The last five conferences were held in Sydney (COLING
- ACL 2006), Manchester (COLING 2008), Beijing (COLING 2010), Mumbai (COLING
2012), and Dublin (COLING 2014).

COLING covers a broad spectrum of technical areas related to natural language
and computation. The conference will include full papers (presented as oral
presentations or posters), demonstrations, tutorials, and workshops.

Final Call For Papers (Main Conference Full Papers):

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: July 15, 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time

COLING 2016 will cover a broad spectrum of technical areas related to natural
language and computation. The conference will include full papers (presented
as oral or poster presentations), demonstrations, tutorials, and workshops.
Oral and poster presentations of full papers will not be distinguished in the
proceedings of the conference.

We invite the submission of full papers on original and unpublished research
on all aspects of computational linguistics.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax, grammar and lexicon
- Lexical semantics and ontologies
- Word segmentation, tagging and chunking
- Parsing, syntactic and semantic
- Semantic role labeling
- Discourse relations and Discourse Structure
- Dialogue and conversational agents
- Language generation
- Summarization
- Question answering
- Paraphrasing and textual entailment
- Multilingual processing, machine translation and translation aids
- Information retrieval
- Information extraction
- Sentiment analysis, opinion mining
- Computational argumentation
- Social media
- Speech recognition, text-to-speech and spoken language understanding
- Multimodal systems and representations
- Applications
- Tools in aid of NLP tasks and applications
- Corpus development and language resources
- System evaluation methodology and metrics
- Machine learning for natural language
- Cognitive, mathematical and computational models of language processing
- Models of communication by language

In all relevant areas, we encourage authors to include analysis of the
influence of theories (intuitions, methodologies, insights) to technologies
(computational algorithms, methods, tools, data), and/or contributions of
technologies to theory
development. In technologically oriented papers, we encourage in-depth
analysis and discussion of errors made in the experiments described, if
possible linking them to the presence or absence of linguistically-motivated
features. Contributions that display and rigorously discuss future potential,
even if not (yet) attested in standard evaluation, are welcome.

Important Dates:

July 15, 2016: Paper submission deadline (11:59pm, Pacific Standard TIme)
September 20, 2016: Author notification
October 10, 2016: Camera-ready PDF due
November 30, 2016: Official proceedings publication date
December 11-16, 2016: Main conference

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
